Hair wonder for New Year's Eve

Hi!

I hope you all had some beautiful days with lots of snow and fun! At Christmas time I am in Germany to be with my family in Bavaria. We have some traditions like eating the same meal on the 24th of December and singing before gift giving. Do you have such traditions?

What I also like in Germany are the drugstores; we don't have them in Luxembourg! And I found my new favourite hair product in such a store: L'Oréal Paris Elvital Öl Magique (I haven't found the english version of the name). I love treating my hair so it smells good, gets fluffy and soft. And this product is just heaven! I used it before I blow-dried my hair and I really was amazed how this hair oil keeps it's promise. I tend to make my hair in a braid or bun and after I opened it again, my hair was still soft and easy to comb!

If you want to have perfect hair on New Year's Eve, I can only recommend this. You can either use it before shower, before drying or as a finish and (important) the hair does not look greasy!

I will certainly use it for my birthday in one week, the 5th of January, when I will finally turn 18! You will see a post about my birthday because I'm going to invite a make-up artist who will make us all pretty and I am sooo excited!

Here are some pictures of the wonder oil:





Enjoy our holidays!

Busy time and a blogging class report

Hi my dears!

I know I am not posting much lately but Christmas is such a busy time plus my private life has not been that good at the moment. However I had do to lots of shopping because I am such a NOT creative person when it comes to pick out presents and I spent so much time.

I have also attended the third blogging class by Emilie Higle form My Little Fashion Diary and the special guest (drum roll) Haleigh Walsworth from Making Magique.
This class has been dedicated to Photography and I have to admit I absolutely love the pictures taken by Heleigh, they are incredible!

The first two classes have also been very interesting and I have learned so much! Thank you again Emilie for making this possible for the luxemburgish bloggers and future bloggers!

Pictures can show you more than the words I am writing, so enjoy. And MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!

Christmas and New Year's Eve

Hi my dears!

The design has slightly changed, so does the header. A bigger changing will come in the future, but I didn't have the time to do so, sorry!

I also haven't had time yet to buy a gorgeous outfit for Christmas and New Year's Eve, I was very busy lately with school BUT also with writing an article! And I am very proud to present you the article I wrote for the magazine "Discover Benelux", you can find it when you click HERE and go on the page 10. I introduced you some time ago the luxembourgish brand "Yileste", which is also featured in the article! I hope you'll like it!

You are aready finding some inspiration for the festive season in the article, but I want to give you some more (For more outfit inspiration, check out my pinterest). For me, Christmas and New Year's Eve is glittery and sparkly, so don't wonder about the twinkling dresses. (I aso picked "normal" ones, for the ones who don't like glitter). I also like to wear pants and tops, so you won't only find dresses.
(Click on the picture to be forwarded to the site)

This Forever21 dress is also available in black!

I love this simple dress which you can level up by adding eye-catching accessories

I love this top! It would look gorgeous with a high waistet, black jeans.

I would absolutely wear this version of the "little black dress"!

An other version of the sequin dress which is (I think) for the braver people. 
But it looks really nice!

This is also one of my favourites with its fringes!


I love black dresses, especially glittery ones!


Why not switch from a little black dress to a little white dress? Love the neck details!


I showed you a little selection, but I checked some online stores where you can find more beautiful clothes: Zara, River Island, Boohoo, Forever21, Asos.

Do you already have an outfit for the two evenings? Which one?

Lush Blogger Breakfast

Hi lovelies,

I am so stressed because we have so many tests right now, it is just inhuman. I don't even have the time to study hard for one exam because the following exam is already the next day... I am so sorry I cannot post regularly at the moment.

However this post will be a bit longer because of the numerous pictures I've made at the lush blogger breakfast. The blogger_lu group has been invited to have breakfast at the Lush shop in Luxembourg. Many of the bloggers came and it was much fun! At first, we ate a croissant or some cookies, then a very lovely employee explained the whole Christmas Collection to us, we even received the "Father Christmas" bath bomb (I already used it and it is amazing!) and other goodies.

The best about the morning at lush was the production of two lush products: We mixed the ingredients together and formed our own bath bomb and face cleanser. The bath bomb turned out to have a heart shape and not a bullet shape, we had very much fun and I am very happy to have had this wonderful opportunity!

Here are some pictures about the event:












 Well I was a bit tired because the breakfast was at 9 o'clock in the morning

Do you use Lush products?
